Scan Tool Data
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condi-
tion, there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore,
judgment as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those output from ECM (PCM) as
Commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in the condition) as indicated
by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing referring to Section 6F2.
NOTE:
For asterisk (
✱) marked item in “OTHER” column, item can be read only SUZUKI scan tool.
When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M/T gear to the
neutral gear position and A/T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if
nothing or “no load” is indicated, turn OFF A/C, all electric loads, P/S and all the other necessary
switches.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic acci-
dent and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 person, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that following conditions are satisfied when using this “DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE”.
Intake air temp. : – 8°C (18°F) or higher
Engine coolant temp. : – 8 – 110°C (18 – 230°F)
